Just for Today

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My name is Mike and I'm an alcoholic (Hi Mike) Cigarettes and free coffee I did the twelve steps then I relapsed Now my sponsors all hate me I guess it figures, I know my triggers And my triggers, they all know me 'cause My name is Mike and I'm an alcoholic (Hi Mike) Cigarettes and free coffee [Chorus] I'm here in N.A.  Feeling okay It's a beautiful day It's just for today [Verse 2] My name is Dave and I'm a drug addict (Hi Dave) I thought I had this whole thing licked My palms are sweating, my heart's a-pounding I thought I had my demons kicked I need a hot bath—where's my journal? I gotta face it, I'm feeling sick Can't be cheating, mistakes repeating Get me to my next meeting quick [Chorus] Here in N.A.  Feeling okay It's a beautiful day Just for today I'm here in L.A.  Playing DTA It's a beautiful day Just for today [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Here in N.A.  Feeling okay It's a beautiful day Just for today I'm here in L.A.  Playing DTA It's a beautiful day Just for today [Verse 3] My name is Al, I'm newly independent (Hi Al) At the insistence of my P.O.  He told me, "Al, how do you like jail? 'Cause if you fail, that's where you're gonna go" So here I take a meeting on my noon hour My higher power, of that I'm not sure Of course today, here in N.A.  I hope you folks here got the cure [Chorus] Here in N.A.  Feeling okay It's a beautiful day Just for today I'm here in L.A.  Playing DTA It's a beautiful day [Outro] It's just for today Here in N.A.  Just for today Here in N.A.  Just for today
